Big and weighty, at least as far as Pinot Noir goes, this offering from Domaine Brunet offers impressive concentration and intensity with aromas of black cherry, vanilla, and subtle notes of smokey toast. Incredibly rich and juicy on the palate with flavors of blackberry melting seamlessly into a background of soft, velvety tannins. Hints of savory herbs, a silky mid-palate, and a finish made long by bright acidity give this wine a complexity that belies its price tag.
